Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr S’ complaint and no further action is required by NHS BSA.

Complaint summary

Mr S has complained that he was given incorrect information by NHS BSA, which did not allow him to weigh up his options and make an informed decision about opting out of or staying in the Scheme. He said he was told he had to stay in the Scheme and continue paying contributions until he reached age 55, despite reaching full pensionable service at age 49.
